Can arrayfun take multi-dimensional arrays as individual arguments?

% I have a function that takes three arguments, one of which is a vector:
[output] = function myfun(x,y,[z1 z2])
% I have a 1000x1 array 'x', 1000x1 array 'y', and 1000x2 array 'z'. Can I call this function using arrayfun, such that it will use the 1000 1x2 vectors from 'z' as individual arguments at each call, just as it uses the 1000 individual elements of 'x' and 'y'?
% The only solution I've found is a work-around making using cell arrays and constantly doing cell2mat and mat2cell conversions (very inefficient) ...
output = cell2mat(arrayfun(@(x,y,z) myfun(x,y,z,), x, y, mat2cell(z, ones(1000,1), 2));
% Your help is appreciated! Thanks!

Just use a for-loop!
cell2mat/mat2cell/arrayfun are all slow and confusing.

This is no general solution. I am working with matrices having up to 22mio elements. Arrayfun improved the processing on a slow laptop over a for loop from 57min to just 4min. The size of data definitely plays a huge role which solution to choose over the other.

The first thing that I would try to do is to update the function so it can take vectors/arrays.
Then I agree with Sean, Andrei, and Jan, but here is a last alternative ..
arrayfun(@(x,y,z1,z2) myfun(x,y,[z1,z2]), x, y, z(:,1), z(:,2)) ;

I agree with Sean, but here example of use arrayfun (bad variant).
arrayfun(@(ii)myfun(x(ii),y(ii),z(ii,:)),(1:numel(x))');

I agree with Sean (and even voted his answer): Even if the ARRAYFUN method would save some milliseconds, creating the command and later debugging will waste minutes to hours compared to simple and clean FOR loops.
